Anyone able to give me stories of preterm birth where steroids were not given?
I'm anticipating intervention within the next fortnight so before I am 37 weeks. My consultant is very very anti steroids if not crucial and recommends heavily that I do not opt for them if I am 36+ weeks at delivery (section) having cited some research about it at me that suggests long term health would be affected for a short term issue that isn't that common to justify it at 36+ weeks.
I suspect he's ahead of current practice with his research as most people I have discussed this with would not think twice about steroids being administered.
